1. Register with the DRC Office, if you have not already done so.
2. Meet with a DRC consultant, if you have not already done so.
3. Receive a Letter of Accommodation from the DRC office, if eligible.
4. If you are a returning student and have completed steps 1-3, obtain your Letter of Accommodation for the current semester through the AIM Student Portal. 
5. At a minimum, students should provide faculty the Letter of Accommodation 7 days or more prior to the first exam or quiz. At this time discuss with your instructor your accommodation needs.
6. If you receive exam accommodations, discuss scheduling your exams/quizzes in your instructor’s office or department. If your needs can be met within the office/department- it is considered adequate.

The DRC Testing Service is only the backup plan when an instructor cannot meet your needs.

1. If you and your instructor schedule your exam, take your exam as scheduled.
2. If your instructor requests assistance of the DRC Testing Service you will find the details for your exam on the DRC Exam Schedule. Schedules are posted 3-4 days prior to the scheduled exam date. The student is advised to check the schedule the night before their exam to see if any changes have occurred.

Students receiving testing accommodations have the responsibility of honest‚ ethical test taking behavior and of maintaining the integrity of the test. Cheating will not be tolerated and Disability Resource Staff are required to report any suspicious behavior by the student to the faculty. Students utilizing the Accommodated Testing Services will be monitored either in person or through the DRC camera monitoring system. All testing activities in the Accommodated Testing Services area are digitally recorded and can be used by the university in any test integrity investigations. Disciplinary action will be at the discretion of the faculty.

When a student does not show for a scheduled examination with the Accommodated Testing Service and fails to contact the office prior to the scheduled time, the faculty member will determine if a make-up is allowed.  The day and the time of day may need to be adjusted depending on the resources available through the Disability Resource Center.

If classes are canceled or delayed the exams scheduled for that day/time period through the DRC office will not take place as scheduled. The DRC office will NOT automatically reschedule the exams scheduled during a delay or closure; instead we request that all instructors work with their students to reschedule the exam together within their offices or departments. If this is not possible then the DRC will take one by one requests from the instructors to reschedule the exam(s) and work them in as soon as possible after the university reopens. Please note this could take some time so trying to schedule the exam(s) within the department is strongly suggested.
